Dark Standard Brahma and Buff Geese?

[wolffeathers]

Going to pick up a beautiful pair of Standard Dark Brahmas, because a non-poultry but enabling friend took me to a flock swap and I really liked what I saw. Big beautiful healthy birds, but I didn't want what was exposed to the swap, so he's selling me a pair straight off his farm.

Anyone here have Dark Brahmas? How do you like them? We have an RIR/leghorn/EE flock they won't be our sole supply of eggs. More like eye candy.

Something took out my Pilgrim gander and my Pilgrim goose is all alone. Someone on CL was selling adult Buff Geese. Anyone have those? How do you like them?

Had a light Brahma hen, raised from chick. Very friendly, steady egg layer though not outstanding.

big galky teenagers, big broody adults, roosters seem to be gentle, decent foragers but not as active/thrifty as smaller breeds

I love my Buff geese. Calm and gentle and so sweet. They do occasionally squabble among themselves, but are not at all aggressive towards humans.

Awesome. Thanks guys. Just got back from picking up the brahmas. May have to arrange for a way to get our sweet goose some companions. I was reading that a buff bred to grey will actually produce f1 sexlinks.. kind of neat.

I had to sell my buff geese. Couldnt figure out what was killing the newly hatched chicks and ducklings. They were. They were fine with anything bigger then them or that was here before they were.
